Troubleshooting
Problem
Attempts to launch the Profile Management Tool (PMT) from IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software or from the command line in order to create a WebSphere Application Server profile results in a failure if you use a Roaming Profile where your user home directory is accessed with a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path.
Symptom
Launch the Profile Management Tool in one of the following two ways:
- From the Command Line:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\base_v[n]\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat
where n = 6,61,7,8 depending on the version of WebSphere Application Server for which you attempt to create the profile.
Note that the path could differ, if you are using a standalone installation of WebSphere Application Server:
<WebSphere>\AppServer\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat
OR
- From the menu Windows > Preferences > Server > WebSphere Application Server > Run Profile Management Tool
The error message PMT: An error has occurred. See the log file \\Redirected_Profile\PMT\workspace\configuration\log as in the following screen capture:
and the referenced log file contains the following errors:
